Alright, here it is. I was riding down a local canyon that we frequent. I was hitting the turns good, straightaways I wasn't really hammering on, but each corner I would throw the bike down.

The last corner I came to was really sharp and I just scooted over on the seat, stuck my knee out and leaned in. Then it happened. The moment I have been waiting for for a long time. MY KNEE TOUCHED THE GROUND!!!! I was so happy I almost drove off the road. :rock (puck touched, not my actual knee, that would kind of suck .)

I have never been to a track before and I kind of learned on my own with some tips from friends. This may not sound like that big of a deal to some of you guys, but it has been a goal for me for quite some time. I just needed to brag. Oh yeah, and I still have those shitty fake 208's on. They seem to be holdin' up well. WOOHOO! That is the excitement for my night. I am going to :beer and go to bed. Thanks to anyone who listened.

Awesome bro, right on. I can't wait till my knee touches down, but I don't have the gear. In any case, congrats, feel free to ramble some more and include some pointers.:fact :rock

Sweetness....good to hear. Enjoy your :beer and your nap, then get out tomorrow and do it again....with the other knee.

Congrats!

Hey great job. Now you can focus on Elbow Dragging

Congrats Joe - you never forget the first time and its soooo true. Mine was at Silverstone in the UK over 2 yrs ago, I nearly wet myself I was that estatic !!!!!. You'll find the other knee more of a challenge and after you'll find muscles you never knew you had. Get out there and do it some more ....... you can never get enough of a goood thing.:rock :thumbup :beer :rock :thumbup :beer

Congrats!

I got my knee down at Gerotech Dynamic Handling Track here in SA a few months ago on my TL1000R, for the first time. Pity I was'nt wearing knee sliders. Damn it!Tore through my jeans and flesh in and instant. And that was just a seconds worth of touch. Did it twice that day. And I told my mates I was gonna take it easy. Sheesh. I still have the scar. Kinda cool though. I have permanent proof that I did it.

Congrats! The only time I have ever touched a knee down on a bike was when I was wrecking:lol Glad to hear that yours was the good kind. . . and many more to come.

Way to go! ! ! I've been dragging my knees for years, but it's still an awesome feeling everytime I do it. Here's a picture from a couple of years ago on my '97 GSX-R600. I need to take a few of my dragging the knees on my '02 R1.

good job bro! :thumbup

I know how it is when you do something you wanted for long time... I recently got my chicken strips off my REAR tire.. =) I was soo damn excited!!

I would really like to learn to touch down but I dont' have leather pants with pucks. Jeans would hurt a little lol
